I was recently diagnosed with degenerative disc disease. what are the symptoms of this illness? i have severe lethargy and severe body pain. are they related?

Was there any mention of facet arthritis as well? In pure degenerative disc disease there's usually loss of spinal flexibility, back pain&spasms, possible nerve root impingement radiating to thigh,buttocks or leg with or without sensory symptoms like numbness,pins & needles. Leg weakness is a worrisome symptom requiring surgical relief of nerve root compression by a herniated intervertebral disc
